One of the most iconic video games of all time has been turned into a card game

Remember The Oregon Trail? No, not the actualOregon Trail — the video game you used to
play toward the end of your grade school computer classes.

Not only did it introduce a
generation of kids to the concepts of buffalo hunting
and death via
dysentery, it was also something like the original
survival horror game. Getting your band of settlers from Missouri
to Oregon without sacrificing a loved one or dying of
starvation was a struggle.

The Hall of Famerhas seen a number of revamps and re-releases
in 42 (!) years since it debuted — and you
can still play it for
freetoday — but
now, Texas-based Pressman Toy has turned it into
a card game.
The Target exclusive will cost $15 when it arrives on
July 31. The game’s existence was first spotted by Reddit user
dwbosoearlier this
week.

As you can see in Pressman Toy’s
introductory video below, the game appears to stay close to the
spirit of the original. You’re still managing supplies,
weathering snake bites, and memorializing the dead on tombstones.
It might not be as educational as the game's creators intended
all those years ago, but it could still provide some
nostalgia and dark humor.
